C. 35 205, Candelaria, 97782 Valladolid, Yuc., Mexico
The Church of La Candelaria is located at 44th and 35th streets, opposite the park of the same name. This church honors the Madonna of La Candelaria, and traditional celebrations take place on February 2nd. The complex consists of the temple, a small room, a vestibule, a portal supported by Moorish arches, and an inner courtyard surrounded by arches. It has two openings for bells and two projections on the roof, giving it the appearance of a fortress.
Its exterior is adorned with an unusual portico framed by inner arches, while the interior boasts a Churrigueresque-style altar. Slightly to the north is the Church of Santa Lucia, an old neighborhood with a square opposite it. Other places worth visiting nearby include the Church of Saint Anne, simple but well-kept; and to the south—the Church of Saint John, which stands out with its beautiful Baroque-style altar.
